Who Gets The Glory Around Your House? 

Scripture

1 Corinthians 1

²⁶ Remember, dear brothers and sisters, that few of you were wise in the world’s eyes or powerful or wealthy when God called you. ²⁷ Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful. ²⁸ God chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important. ²⁹ As a result, no one can ever boast in the presence of God.

Observation

Some Christians think that they are really God’s gift to this world. They have an arrogance about them that really annoys me. I am thankful that they are in the minority and most of us know that we are just regular folks that have been saved by God’s grace. 

Paul is reminding the church at Corinth that their fighting and fussing with one another was all based on a few people feeling that they were more important than they really were. 

Humility is realizing who we are in Christ and giving Him the honor and the glory for whatever we accomplish in this life. We are nothing. He is everything. When we begin to believe that we are something and begin to take the glory that belongs to Jesus then we are in for a world of trouble. 

I have watched this happen to Christian leaders, and prominent pastors in our area and I have watched them fall. 

Lets boast only in the Lord!

 Application

I will ask the Lord to keep me humble today. How about you? 

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I pray for our Christian leaders that are in such important positions for Your kingdom. Keep them humble so they don’t fall into sin. Protect them from the Evil One. I pray for our leadership team at Christ Fellowship that they would continue to serve You and I pray that they would continue to give You the honor and the glory for everything that is happening at our church. I pray that they would be teachable and I pray that they would be valuable for Your kingdom. Unto Him who is worthy of all the Honor and all the Glory Amen!
